Empathic Ability:
Part 2 – turning off
So you’re empathic – been called a cry baby, told – don’t wear your heart on your sleeve and stop worrying all the time, geez!
For the most part, empathic people tend to express themselves energetically towards other people, hence not protecting their own energy. They give away their power, usually without realizing it!
What if you could turn it off and on? That would mean freedom!!
Step 1 – There is no secret switch, no magic powder that can be swallowed or touched. In order to change something we need to first acknowledge it. This means that if you all of a sudden feel a certain way, you must explore it. Stop the ‘chatter’ in your head, (the chatter of – why, what’s wrong, omg)….to sit back and take a much needed deep, lingering breath and ask yourself, “what am I feeling right now?” It could be anger, sadness, fear, etc. It’s important to identify the feeling instead of trying to ignore it.
Stop analyzing, stop trying to figure out where it’s coming from…you’re skipping too many steps! For now, just feel – do not identify!
Step 2 - Once the ‘feeling’ is identified (sadness, anger, fear, resentment, etc) then sit with it, let the emotions flow. You may start to see that one emotion turns into another, you may even be able to see in your minds eye who this emotion is actually attached to. Once you do this say something to the effect, “all that is not mine, leave immediately!” You have free will, that is your controlled power.
Remember, just because you get an intuitive ‘hit’ doesn’t mean you are suppose to do something with it. It’s not selfish to think and do for yourself.
Being empathic doesn’t have to mean crippled with emotion. Look at it as an inside look at a wrapped book. You can profile anyone, meaning you can get into the head/feelings of anyone if you wish. Don’t take things personally, when you get your emotions twisted and combined with what the outside ‘feelings’ are, it gets complicated and you will run in circles and receive nothing but a headache. Don’t take it personally, don’t analyze, or make excuses. Trust, know and filter.
For Example – try this with a friend; sit across from someone to practise your empathic skills with them. You can hold their hands if you wish, but remain relaxed. Then just FEEL! Wrap yourself like a blanket with their energy, like you become them. Say to yourself, I am (_insert name_), what do I feel? Do I ‘feel’ heavy, sad, depressed, sick, fear, rejection, etc…remember your feeling words! Be sure to say exactly how you are feeling, include any images you may see. Do NOT say things like, well this probably isn’t right but, blah, blah!! That’s being negative and dismissing the information you receive.
You will be amazed at what you can actually do with the skill you already possess!
Be sure to leave your comments for me please. I read and appreciate everyone of them! xoxo

It’s highly important for someone to know the benefits that come along with being an empath. Several friends and loved ones could be helped in whatever emotional turmoils they’re currently experiencing, allowing them to pour out all their negative emotion and helping them feel relieved. It takes some time to be able to let go of all the negativity you’ve acquired from them, but knowing their state of emotion gradually improves with your help is beyond any satisfaction you can experience in life.
I’ve tried to identify and ‘tag’ the emotions that are seemingly alien but I usually get so lost in them that I skip to trying to ‘fix it’ instead of releasing them. I like the idea of actually practicing this with someone I trust not to mess with me. =) Most of the time I don’t have to try to read anyone, it just happens… sometimes before they even ‘enter the room’.
I would just like to be able to watch a movie without the need to reapply the mascara afterward, or not literally run out of the room when those abused animal commercials come on… or better yet, just take someone for their word rather than being disappointed because I know they just lied to me.
Can’t wait for part III ! =)
Loved with inner light to her unknowingly all these years…I’ve secretely looked after the white queen. Now she’s all to see on top of the world, climbing to the top of her pyramid. I have done which could not be done and the future has been set in the moment. I the man, or a legend or the bearer of a sword of that of King have returned so that Camelot can be once again and the future be set in the present moment. Be just, set her free, and let us love for in return she and I will give you Camelot. She has the same dream as I. A soul twin born at the beginning of time, when bird, beast and flower were one.
